As hot weather arrives they fall like flies. For now, it's hand to mouth in the auto repair business.
Looking forward to hot weather, myself!

Being Self Employed you'll understand this:

When I was attending Auto Body Repair at the local Community College, the veteran repairman who was our instructor said that the norm for employment in the Auto Body Shops was on Commission and there were months that we'd be eating Chicken and the next month we'd be eating Feathers.

Back then in 1975 the Labor Rate was $13 per hour with a 40/60 split with me getting the 40%. There were many months when I would Clear $1000.00 and then were months when I barely Grossed $300.

When my first child was on her way into this life, that's when I decided to go back to the grocery business. Overall I made a little more but the paychecks were steady.

Hang In There!
